1) readability. A TAF is not aimed at the general public:

Sure, there are legends explaining TAF's and METAR's, but c'mon, I mean... I bet most people don't feel like having to do a lot of work just to get their weather forecast.
2) The nowcast-nature of a TAF won't tell you anything about the weather to come, any more than looking out the window once in a while. Towering cumulus/congestus? Looks like rain. Huge anvils on those cumulonimbus? Might even be thunder/hail/snow then.
3) I'd love a look at the TAF if I were to land my plane at some airport but the weather could be quite different where I live, not more than 30 miles away. A TAF wont tell you that.
Maps you say? Well thats a whole other story:-) I myself prefer a combination of the Sembach satellite analysis as a nowcast, combined with the GFS maps to look ahead in time, where I check the sanity up against ECMWF
But for a quick weather forecast, I still just flick on my tv at seven:-)
Driving a safe car provides you an extra chance of making it in a crash.
Writing poor code is more like not utilizing the workings of your vehicle (braking only with the parking brake?), hence driving it insecurely because of sloppiness.

SO, if you don't like it, you go out and make an OS for the Cisco routers and put it out for free - go ahead, no one is stopping you.
Apart from the fact that CISCO does not provide the necessary hardware specs, nor development kits for their products?
blabla... Using something else, esp based on Linux, can cause even more problems - they can gain access by any other means, shutdown or change some OTHER critical system, and it shutdown the routing...Use your frickin head.
Nope, doesn't work that way. Not only is it wrong to say that a
thread is over when Godwin's Law is invoked anyway (Usenet threads
virtually always outlive their usefulness), but long ago a corollary to
the Law was proposed and accepted by Taki "Quirk" Kogama (quirk@swcp.com):
Quirk's Exception: Intentional invocation of this so-called "Nazi Clause" is ineffectual.
I'm not trying to defend communism here, but the ideology behind communism does not imply totalitarian governing methods. The fact that most communistic governments has resolved to said measures is a sad fact that just proves that communism doesn't work
The only places communism truly works, are in anthills and termite nests.;)
Time spent installing each and every application for your lusers: ???
Constricting your average user's permissions that way is what makes people try to circumvent security, which in the end can be even more troublesome than cleaning out spyware. (I know I would)
One thing is using a swiss cheese as a firewall, but hopefully there are sevaral layers of security at play here, like cryptography and authentication, servers inbetween.
IMNSHO, you can't update a firewall enough as much as you can misconfigure it, and by the looks of things, this is what happened. Same goes for the UK coast guard btw.
I bet these incidents are the results of networks that were not designed and implemented in one go, but has evolved over time (I know, I know, most networks are built this way), leaving 'grey' or 'forgotten' areas with noone directly responsible for audits and security.
There are no excuses for having an insecure network, regardless of your choise of OS'es attached. Hooking mission critical machines, not responsible for networking, directly to your DMZ is generally a bad idea[tm]
The most interesting is why the Founder of D feels it is necessary to compare his language to other languages.
Quote from Bjarne Stroustrup's FAQ: "When looking at a language comparison consider who wrote it, consider carefully if the descriptions are factual and fair, and also if the comparison criteria are themselves fair for all languages considered. This is not easy."
I tend to agree. A comparison table biasing the featured product makes me feel somewhat suspicious.
Moreover, some of the features where C++ is listed as 'No' are available although GC'ing isn't something I miss much about C/C++
I did not RTFA, but wouldn't this make a good alternative SW firewall for windows?
Setup all windows networking through coLinux and getting rid of Norto^H^H^H^H^H [random crummy firewall app]
Or am I missing something?

for all your hard work. May you find what you are looking for.

Good riddance

Not too far fetched I'd say.
Oh, and try looking up pyrocumulus.
Yes, although it is strongly advised not to use a smoke signalling device near gas pumps either...
*woof*
- a) tlog
My logic would tell me a project log was a tlog (+ it sounds way cooler =)b) plog
c) clog

Billy? Is that you?
in a place you dont know anything about?
I'm amazed they even bothered with learning English, but I guess the watched ST and figured it was a language that would apply almost everywhere
The dictatorship was supposed to be carried out by the working class , not by the state.
go read for yourself
did you get Marx confused with Lenin?
